Well, hey everybody and welcome to the messy table, an ordinary space where we can show up and remember

that God is at work in our mess. And I don't know about you, but that's something I need to

remind myself like every single day in every aspect of life. And if that's something that you

could use to, I am so glad you're here. So if we haven't yet had the chance

to meet, my name is Jen Jewel, and I love getting to host this faith-fueled conversation-style

podcast, which is partnered with the women of My Church, Life Church, which unleashes a new episode

and a fresh perspective into your speakers and your world every other Tuesday.

And y'all back with me today as my co-host is one of my dear friends and one of my favorite

people, the Amy Groschelle. And guys, we have to tell you, it is so much fun getting to

highlight these incredible women and their powerful stories. But if you've been

with us for a while, you know we take it one quote unquote semester at a time. So this will be our

last episode before our annual summer break. Yes, it's a little sad, but it's also really good.

And I know everyone's schedules are very different, but my kids will be home with me,

which I want to make priority, while also continuing some part-time work. And maybe it's different

from the rest of the year, or maybe it's just more of the same. Y'all, this is the perfect time

to catch up on whatever episodes you might have missed. I had someone recently tell me that she was

so sad

because she had gotten behind and I'm like, summer is coming.

So go back, catch up.

I can honestly vouch that I have learned something new about God's character and something

about myself every single time.

So there's your heads up.
